Few things capture the age and culture gap between your average baseball fan and your average young girl than this video.
D-backs announcers Steve Berthiaume and Bob Brenly are going viral for mocking a group of sorority girls who took in Wednesday’s Rockies-Diamondbacks game in Arizona. The girls in question are from Alphi Chi Omega at Arizona State, and they spent a good portion of the inning locked into their phones and fixated on taking selfies. In the words of Berthiaume, they were taking selfies with the hot dog, selfies with the churro, and selfies of a selfie.
That in a nutshell is the difference between middle-aged white males and teenage girls. You could just hear the frustration from the men as if they were trying to get the attention of their own daughters.
Sadly, I’m part of the group that agrees with them. Some people have no idea how ridiculous they can look to outside observers as they shift from pose to pose trying to get that perfect selfie. All the while they’re so engrossed in their phones they’re missing out on real moments in life. Sigh.
